Trump Says China Convinced the World ‘Let’s All Do Magnets’

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-02 16:45:44

Donald Trump was all over the place during two press conferences at the White House on Monday, where he rambled about his fascist vision for the country. But there were some points of levity, including when the president tried to explain how China became a leader in rare earth minerals.

On Wednesday, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) announced its new Qi 2.2.1 specification, which will be better known going forward as “Qi2 25W.” As the name suggests, Qi2 25W boosts wireless charging speeds to an impressive 25W — a notable step up from the 15W limit that standard Qi2 is currently capped at. The WPC says that “major Android smartphones” are
